- Description
- The refusal to recognize kinship relations among slaves, interracial couples, and same-sex partners is steeped in historical and cultural taboos. In this book Peterson explores the ways in which non-normative relationships bear the stigma of death that American culture vehemently denies.Probing Derrida’s notion of spectrality as well as Orlando Patterson’s concept of “social death,” Peterson examines how death, mourning, and violence condition all kinship relations. Through Charles Chesnutt’s The Conjure Woman, Peterson lays bare concepts of self-possession and dispossession, freedom and slavery. He reads Toni Morrison’s Beloved against theoretical and historical accounts of ethics, kinship, and violence in order to ask what it means to claim one’s kin as property. He concludes that socially dead “others” can be reanimated only if we avow the mortality and mourning that lie at the root of all kinship relations.

- Description
- Žarkov analyzes representations of female and male bodies in the Croatian and Serbian press in the late 1980s and in the early 1990s, during the war. She argues that the Balkan war was not a war between ethnic groups, but that ethnicity was produced by the war itself. She argues that both the representational practices of the 'media war' and those of the 'ethnic war' depended on specific notions of femininity and masculinity, (hetero)sexuality and ethnicity.

- Description
- Analysis of the role of commercial television in the sexual culture of the 1970s in the US. Levine explores sex-themed made-for-TV movies: female sex symbols such as the stars of Charlie’s Angels and Wonder Woman: the humor of variety shows (The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, Laugh-In), sitcoms (M*A*S*H, Three’s Company) and game shows (Match Game): and the proliferation of rape plots in daytime soap operas. She also describes the sexual topics that were barred from the airwaves. Along with program content, Levine describes the economic motivations of the television industry, the television production process, regulation by the government and the tv industry, and audience responses.
